I got the pillcam back today. I don't know what I can do with it, but with what I'm having to pay I'm not just flushing it away. You know the saying about looking for a diamond in a pile of manure? Same process. >BEG< There might be a deposit on the thing (not that kind) but I doubt it.

Anyway this is what it looks like:

You can see two of the four LEDs and the tower that the CCD is in. I don't know if it can be recharged or what frequency or format the images are. If I did manage to charge it up I suppose I could use it for a balloon light. Those LEDs are pretty bright.

Counting the days till I become Uncle Wiggly

It could be Enema Countdown! http://youtu.be/gYVSBlQ5noI Anyway I got up before the roosters and went to the hospital to take the pill camera. Nothing painful or that, they taped almost a dozen antennas aaaalll over my boooody and then had me swallow a flashing capsule. Then I had a recorder hooked up to me and a strap hung over my neck.

Several hours later I came back to have them take everything off, but I still have the camera in me and will have it for a day or two until everything comes out in the end. So now I've had my insides photographed from top to bottom. Hopefully I get some answers and can get well again.

Other than that I have a week left before I reach the grand old age of 62.

Well, not so odd really. I go for a capsule endoscopy in a few days to find out what's going on with my abdomen. First I get the prescription that comes in a gallon jug which has the effect of sticking a water hose in your mouth and turning it on full blast. Then the next day I swallow a camera which will take pictures throughout the digestive system and come out the other end. (Now there's a selfie I don't think you'd want to see)

And a few days later I'll be another year older.

No, not quite. 2014 will be here shortly and in three weeks I'll be the ripe old age of 62. I guess they say 'ripe old age' cause some old folks smell funny. I don't think I'm going to make any resolutions for new year's, I'll just keep doing what I have and enjoy everyone's company.

Hugs to all and have a great 2014!

Getting into the Christmas spirit is a little harder for me since I grew up in Michigan and, living in Florida, I don't have several feet of snow freezing my nads and making my hands feel like I've been using a cactus for a punching bag.

Even so, with Universal's version of the Macy's Christmas parade and Disney's Mickey's Very Merry Christmas, it's hard not to be put in the spirit of the season. My inner child has been bugging me for all kinds of toys and things I can't afford, but luckily all it will take is a Santa Claus balloon to quiet him down.

As for my Christmas wishes, I wish for everyone, Happiness, health, and prosperity. May your lives be blessed and your hearts filled with joy.

*squeakyhugs*

I had a great time at Universal Studios Saturday. Not a great start since I spilled my coffee before taking the first sip, but it was good none the less. Minion Mayhem is fantastic! Transformers too. I zapped a bunch of aliens at MIB and watched the animal show as well.

I took up my favorite spot to see the parade and was lucky enough to get in without having my view blocked. I got lots of pictures and saw some huge balloons! As soon as the parade finished I hurried over to the band shell to see the Mannheim Steamroller concert. I got a good spot there but there was an old couple who did nothing but bitch and complain because they didn't have a front row seat. Hey! it's a free concert! Also, What do you need to see the orchestra for? It's a music concert without a stage show.

In a week I'll be at Universal Studios Florida to see their Christmas balloon parade and listen to Mannheim Steamroller in concert. I'll be the easy one to spot. Just look for the balloons that won't lift you off the ground.

See you there! (I hope)

When the Thanksgiving parade is broadcast I want to see the floats and balloons and marching bands. Unfortunately what we get is promotions for Broadway shows and commercials. C'mon! Show more than ten seconds of the balloons and ten minutes of a performance that has nothing to do with the holiday.

It's Thanksgiving season! Balloonies have a reason to celebrate though!!!

Fall is here and that means Elliot's Fall Festival!

Hope to see you there!

While counting down the days till MFM I post this meme that's floating around.

I love comedic fail like when the poor bunny gets blown up like a toy balloon.

Pandr's back in hospital again. I'm bringing his computer so he will be online soon. Me on the other hand, dropped my tablet and broke the glass on it. I've got a new one ordered and hope to have it fixed before MFM.

Megaplex was fun and I got to meet lots of friends again. I wish that I was in better health but that is life. Speaking of which, the doctor has me going to a specialist to see why I'm not getting up to snuff.

MFM is coming soon and I hope to see all of my friends there.

Getting ready for Megaplex. Not as quickly as I used to but at least I'm getting there.

A while ago I was told by a friend that there were some nasty rumors being told about me in some of the chat rooms. The people who know me, know that they are untrue but it still bothers me that I'm the subject of someone's lies.

A few truths about me:

Yes I'm old, 61 makes me 2-3 times as old as most furries.

A very long time ago I was a professional clown and costumed character so being furry isn't all that new to me. As a clown I was the shy silly type who sometimes acted more afraid of a child then they were of me. (it works. Kids are braver when they are in control) A lot like I am in real life.

I don't go for scat or watersports or porn for that matter. You never see it with my character and you won't see it with me. That doesn't make me a saint, just someone who tries to be a gentleman and not a jerk.

I do wear diapers when necessary and like Jimmy, wants to keep it a secret but doesn't always succeed.

I do love balloons (no popping please) but not as a fetish object. A toy is a toy is a toy. Nothing wrong with balloons. They make my inner child happy. Enough said.

I can be mischievous but not mean spirited. If I would feel bad if it were done to me, I won't do it to anyone else. Childhood shouldn't be hurtful, even if it's second childhood.

And I don't spread rumors about others.

Spring has arrived and I haven't really gotten out and enjoyed the sunshine. I know that if I were still living in Michigan I'd be past stir crazy back in February. Florida is a nice place to be this time of year. It would be summer weather almost anywhere else. If I were in better shape I would be doing spring cleaning and thinking about getting a hammock to nap in outside.

It's Thursday and I wish that I was in Atlanta with friends. It wasn't to be this year. I had a tire go bad on me and found out I was lied to about having road hazard on my new car. So I have to buy a new tire to replace one with less than 6,000 miles on it. The colonoscopy got my wallet as well as my backside along with other expenses I had sprung on me so no money for the trip. Healthwise I'm not at my best either so it's better I stay home and get better.

Another thing I'll miss is getting some art at FWA but I really should wait till the stuff I've commissioned comes in. I've got some that I have been waiting on for a year and more. It's counterproductive to keep sending messages. All that usually does is annoy the artist and they will hold off even longer. Are they busy, distracted, or just playing games with me? If I have done something wrong I would like to know so I can fix it.

Just feeling my age today plus a few years.

After a a couple days of fasting, taking a med that flushes your intestines out like a garden hose, and waiting an hour and a half waiting with an IV in my hand, it's over. The colonoscopy took 8 minutes to perform.

I think I'm deflating. I keep hearing Pbbbbt coming from back there.

It's going to be an interesting couple of weeks. I'll be driving parents up to IN and visiting relatives. When I come back I have to prepare for a colonoscopy. The procedure isn't too bad but the prep is nasty and afterwards is no picnic either.

Grinning Doctor
eight foot hose
there's no guessing
to where it goes.

*giggleblushes* silly me, it's always balloon day.


Our favorite mudpie maker is at it again!!! Go Now to  toddlergirl

I'll be an old fart tomorrow
bet your bottom dollar I'll turn grey.
and knowing about tomorrow
watching the years just fly away.

With all of my friends who come around me
we'll have a good time and sing off-key. . .

One week till I complete another orbit around the sun.

Where did all the decades go?

My wish is for all of you to have all the best in the new year and that your dreams come true.

Well, in four weeks I will have reached the ripe old age of sixty one. Looking into the mirror I look more like a bulldog than a bunny. Droopy eyes, saggy jowls, I think Mother Nature has been drawing on my face while I was sleeping as a joke.

Universal was great! I arrived as it was opening, anxious to see how they were coming along with the new rides and to see the parade and Mannheim Steamroller concert. The first thing I went to was the Despicable Me Minion Mayhem ride. This was originally the Futuristic World of Hanna Barberra ride and was changed to Jimmy Neutron's Nicktoon Blast later. The hardware hasn't changed but everything else is WOW! Kenny Kitsune better be double padded for this one because of the ending. He might lose control and wet himself in excitement.

Shrek 4D was good and I asked the gift shop people why they haven't got any crossdressing wolves for sale? Hey! He is in the movies!

The Transformers ride is being built in the spot where "Murder She Wrote" was, and is HUGE!

Amityville is gone along with the Jaws ride and the carny games. Rumor has it that they are building a second Harry Potter village in the spot and will have a train that will run between the Harry Potter village in the Islands of Adventure park and it.

MIB was fun and so was the Simpson's Ride. They are doing something to the place that had the restaurants that was next to the Simpson's as it was hidden behind walls as well as something they are doing in the lagoon. I suspect they are trying to copy the show Disney does at EPCOT in World Showcase.

The Macy's parade was nice but they wouldn't let me have one of their balloons *pouts* and they had one float that broke down and they had several people pushing it along the parade route. They had a "Hop" float and I got pictures of the pink berets and E.B. too. Yay bunnies!!!

Mannheim was great as always. The Christmas show was pretty much the same as last year though they did have a new song as well.

I was the only person there with a toy balloon other than some kid with a green Mickey. What's an amusement park without balloons?

All in all a fun day.
